When I ran in the gubernatorial election or the recall election, He were angry at Gavin Newsom for a couple of things, for the mandates, and because he was at the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley kicking back with the very people that drafted the mandates, not wearing masks, not social distancing.

John PhillipsHOST

Well, yeah, it was his friend, but it was also the lobbyist for PG&E.

Nikki GarciaHOST
